Tinkered around a bit - and yes - doesn't appear that AIR can be installed on android. But I am able to play locally stored music through the android remote (albeit it's a clunky experience). I suppose in this case, all that the android device is acting as - is a source?

I will have to figure out whether audirvana is the way to go or roon longer term - so far been using vox and it's resolving my dsd/dsf files well.
Also - lots to explore with regards to cabling, and source playback optimization. Baby steps I suppose.

Always eager to learn tricks of the trade - will keeping a close watch on a bunch of threads here to broaden my knowledge.

If with locally stored you mean files on the device itself then yes, it's a source.

Before you get into cables, watch this:

Make of it what you wish but I would rather spend ten hours on setting up my speakers and chair right than work 5 hours to pay for a 'better' cable.

I'm not super finicky about cables - that's a research topic for way later. Will take a look at the link you shared! I think at this time; I have some relatively inexpensive mediabridge 12awg speaker cables and I've tried them interchangably at another friend's plae who has a much higher value cable layout - couldn't seem to make a discernible difference in sound signature. Am intrigued more, however, by the power chord as well as the 20amp outlets and how much of a difference they make. As of now - need to make AIR work - tonight's job - try AIR through ethernet and see if I can get it to behave :..
